Can I apply only patch > patch-2.4.23-pre6? >From http://kernel.org/prepatch.html: Prepatches are the equivalent to alpha releases for Linux; they live in the testing directories in the archives. They should be applied using the patch(1) utility to the source code of the previous full release. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ So you don't have to apply all the previous prepatches.
